Château de Peynier, Renaissance castle in Peynier, France.

The Château de Peynier features a main facade with two round towers and cross-mullioned windows spread across two floors.

The Matheron family built this castle in the 16th century, and Louis Isoard de Matheron renovated it around 1560 in Provençal Renaissance style.

The castle's reception rooms contain 18th-century plasterwork decorations added during renovations by Marquis Louis de Thomassin de Peynier.

The municipality currently transforms the castle to house the City Hall and create spaces for local associations.

A paved ground pattern forms an 'M' in bricks, representing the signature of the Matheron family, the first noble owners.
